Lu: Marc are ready to go home?

Marc: yes

Bill: There is someone looking for both of yall

Lu and Marc: Who?

Bill: Some girl who knows you Marc

Lu: It's Jennifer probably

Marc: Let her in

Jennifer: Hey Lu hi Marc and thanks

Bill: your welcome

Lu: Jennifer this is Marc's Dad Bill

Jennifer: He looks like both of yall but acts like you Lu

Lu: I Know

Bill: I tell him to

Jennifer: Lu when I first met you I was thinking you could not be his mother

Lu: well I am sorry to say but I am his mother

Marc: Hey

Lu: I am just kidding

Bill: Bye Marc

(bill walks out)

Jennifer: are you married? and Isabel keep on saying that marc is her great grandchild how can that be?

Lu: No! My mom died when I was ten of breast cancer I never knew my dad and so I went and lived with Isabel and at the age sixteen I gave birth to a baby boy Marc I am a high school dropout his father did not help me I was raising him alone and go through Med. School which is no walk in the park. He is her boy.

I will give you some privacy.

Jennifer: Thanks

Bill goes down to the RWHC

Bill: Lana why doesn't Lu care about me?

Lana: "Right now she is worried about Marc. Marc is her life, Bill. He is her family. They are very close. You'd see that if you were around. An from what I have seen & what they both have said you are no saint."

Bill: "I am worried about him too. But just because I don't live with him doesn't mean that I don't love him. He is still my son. I love him and care for him very much."

Lana: "I'm sure you do, but your relationship with him is much different than Lu's. She has raised that boy on her own since she was 16 years old, w/ little or no help from you. I have never seen Lu open up more than she does to Marc and that is how close they are. Marc will never treat anyone else like he does Lu."

Lu: Marc lets go home

Marc: Don't you have clinic?

Marc: "Mom will you get some ice cream for me on the way home?"

Lu: "Yes Marc, but you can't inhale all of it you have to share it w/ me & you need to eat food too."

Nick walks into Marc's room at the same time Lu is telling Marc what is going on.

Nick: "Don't worry about the clinic. I will finish for you."

Lu: "Thanks Nick. If you need help, Peter is here. Or you can call me, even page me."

Nick: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now get out of here & take your son home. I'm guessin' he really wants to get home & outta this place. Am I right, Marc?"

Marc: "Damn straight. Pardon my French, mom. But I'm sick of staying in the hospital. I can't wait to sleep in my own bed."

Lu: "I will let it slide this time Marc, but don't be using your French all the time."

Nick: "Your gonna watch the game later right Jets & Celtics?"

Marc: "Sure am. Mom can Nick come over & watch the game w/ me?"

Lu: "Whatever."

Marc: "Let tell this place later & get outta here mom. See ya later Nick."

Lu: "Thanks Nick see you tomorrow."

Marc & Lu are talking once they get home (Marc fell asleep in the car on the way.)

Marc: "Mom I heard a little bit of what Dad was sayin & don't let him upset you I know he lies. You have always been there for me & I love you."

Lu: "I know baby I love you too."

Marc: "Mom will you help me get a shower tonight before I go to bed?"

Lu: "Just let me know when your ready."

Marc: "Let's eat a bowl of ice cream first okay."

Lu: "Wanna sleep in my room tonight Marc incase you need anything I will be right there?"

Marc: "Okay just for tonight you know I'm not a little boy anymore."

Marc & Lu finish their ice cream & then Lu helps her son take a bath. Afterward Marc is exhausted & Lu helps him to her bed. He is asleep within minutes, she reads a people's magazine on the couch & works a little bit on a cross word puzzle. She goes to bed two hours later.
